i have a ford explorer eddie bauer, it's more than 10 years old. If I sell sa buy and sell, kukuriputan lang ako ng 400k. It's low mileage, it's gas guzzler but mura naman gas ngaun. I bring this sa hotels and clubhouse todo saludo sa mga guards , sa mapsa sa makati ignore lang nila ako if U-turn ako sa no-uturn,
So would I exchange this advantages over the upcoming influx of mini-suvs na halos 1.3M din total. I still drive a 2.4M car even if The used market value is 400k. Basta lagi lang detailed look.
Maybe, that's why a lot of younger people approach me, approach me and ask if Im selling my car.
The younger gen grew up in a society of fortuners and monterosl umay sila. They never knew that big American cars before were bad image coz expensive maintenance
Sa social media lang, The Ford expedition Platinum got almost a million likes when Ford announced its release . It does say something about signs of times.
So if you're young, ambitious, hungry for respect, what would you buy a HRV or Cx3 which any other young yuppie can buy on low downs in the next years to come, ending up with the same cars with everybody else na hindi ma-distinguish ng enforcers or secuirty guards. Or get those low mileage range rovers, jeep commanders, ford explorers/expeditions. And get that temporary fix of respect to boost your ambition
The Toyota domination of the Fortuner did nothing for the image for the owners. Kasi sobrang umay na ng tao sa Fort, parang naka-corrola lang, and yet spent pa siguro top-of-the line version at 1.7M
Mas masakit siguro yun bumili ng TOTL tucson crdi dito at 1.7M, si sg, it will always be associated with the cheap Tucson
We are experiencing a period of progress and abundance, dapat car mo prestiuous, lik what china is doing now. Most mainlander buy higher end. Problema nga lang high maint, and pinakamasarap you enjoy the same prestige, pero luma na car mo, wala na hulog bayad na. Daanin na lang sa detailing,
Eto din natutunan ko sa mga Fil-am friends ko whenever I go there, wow Volvo, wow Bmw, wow Sequioa, Ang panghatid sundo sa akin sa airport, Yun pala entry level models or strip-down models ang mga yun. Good strategy, I guess kasi naka-ilan balik na ako sa America when I found out ganun style nila, when I go back herem I put in a good word for them na si batch natin gsnito naka benz, si ano naka audi. so sikat sila, The point is kung gagastos ka din lang ng malaki ngaun, bilin mo na yun makakaboosr sa image, alisin mo na yun ibsng extra 4 airbag, hill assist (di naman kelangan sa traffic yun) gps, bluetooth system, meron naman sa phone nun
